When new intelligence in late [[3076]] reported the [[Ghost Bear Dominion]]'s latest military forays would focus on [[Dieron]], Protectorate officials augmented the planet's defenses. Then in early [[3077]] additional reinforcements in the form of five [[Protectorate Militia]]s and two frontline divisions brought a level of military force previously unheard of in Dieron's history: a staggering twenty-two [[Level III]] formations and heavy orbital support. The exact WoB forces numbered [[2nd Division (Word of Blake)|Second Division]], [[3rd Division (Word of Blake)|Third Division]], [[8th Division (Word of Blake)|Eighth Division]], [[14th Division (Word of Blake)|Fourteenth Division]], [[19th Division (Word of Blake)|Nineteenth Division]], [[23rd Division (Word of Blake)|Twenty-third Division]], and five Protectorate Militia ([[Liberty Protectorate Militia|Liberty]], [[Fletcher Protectorate Militia|Fletcher]], [[Acamar Protectorate Militia|Acamar]], [[Asta Protectorate Militia|Asta]], [[Milton Protectorate Militia|Milton]]) which were moved from their planets in the Protectorate as a surprise to the invasion forces.
